Condition: some wear and scratches. Framed under glass. 60 x 18 cm This calligraphy diploma stands out for its unusual size. It was published in honour of Al Sayyid Muhammad al-Sadiq and signed by ten well-known calligraphers from the second half of the 18th century. It represents a rare example of the transmission of the art of calligraphy in Ottoman Turkey. In addition to the masters whose signatures attest to Al Sayyid Muhammad al-Sadiq's skill as a calligrapher, the central cartouche lists a chain of transmission (Silsila) of this art, which goes back not only to the first master of Ottoman calligraphy, Sheikh Hamadullah, but also to the Prophet Muhammad. In this respect, the relationship between master and pupil is reflected and acts as a continuous linking system. Provenance: Former Swiss private collection. A Large Ottoman Calligraphic Certificate (Ijazah) with a chain of transmission (Silsila) from the Prophet Muhammad, dedicated to Al Sayyid Muhammad al-Sadiq, dated 1193 AH = 1779 AD.
